Another cool, intermittedly wet day here, but warmer, dryer days are coming next week. They say.
Yesterday was another full to the brim day - dental appts, groceries, fetch mail, laundry, sheets, supper prep., and finally, pulling more fabrics for OWL. I think I have more than enough prepped to take camping. I may not even touch it but I want to be prepared in case the weather turns nasty outside and I get tired of reading and winning at cribbage.
Today we're going to Tacoma to take "Chip" into the Bernie spa. I also want to stop at Joann's to look at their hanging silk plants which are on sale right now. This afternoon I have an appt for a haircut. And my sewing room looks like a bomb went off. So I think my day is covered.
BECCA - I usually time my morning walk to the changing time. In winter, I meet Lori from across the road at 8:30. In summer it's 7:00. Right now, we're walking at 7:45. It's seldom hot enough here to worry about beating the heat. Those strawberries sound yummy. I'm waiting for the day I see good ones in the store. I'm ready to make jam! And Chickie is still making projects for others - just little ones now, and they take her a lot longer. She doesn't do much walking any more either. On her last walk, her vetigo hit her so bad that she did a serious face plant and did even more damage to herself.
VELDA - no hummers yet? We've seen a few "scouts" zooming around. I don't put out feeders because I'm not good at keeping them up. Also, because we travel so much, I don't want the birds to get dependent on us. We rarely eat red meat either, but once in a while a burger or a pot roast about once a year. And about once every two years I make swiss steak for company. That's about it. Oh, and the occasional steak for Bill.
JANA - how was your chicken tetrazinni? I love it! I often use leftover turkey, too. But recipes differ. I have two or three and usually use bits from them all. I'm wondering if yours might be even better! Oh, I'm sooo sorry about the carpet debate. We are fortunate and have almost the same taste in nearly everything here. Maybe you could find a shade somewhere in between? Dark beige/light rust? What about a light blue or green? Last time we carpeted in 2014, there were hundreds of colors to choose from. And they were ALL beige! One year my sister carpeted with a cranberry color because she thought her black cat would look stunning against the cranberry backdrop.
And he did. But then he died. And she was stuck with that carpet for 10 years! Her next cats were beige and shed a lot of hair that really showed up on the cranberry carpet so she was constantly vacuuming. So there's lots of things to take into consideration . . . CAROL - ok, it's morning! Hope you got rested up!
TINA - so happy to have you join us at the table! Good to hear you are closing in on finishing the house project. Sorry about the wind and dust. What kind of flowers did you plant? I gave up planting flowers anymore. They have become too much work for me to keep up. Silk is my go-to, now!
We have leftovers from last night - pot roast, potatoes, carrots. Bill says he wants a simple reheat so that will be supper for us tonite. And there is enough lettuce for one more salad.
Thoughts? What will your supper be tonite?
